Let’s talk Sam Fox/ Synchro-Fox stuff

[Retronic]

Have all the SF releases been heard?   Any not turned up yet?
I have Synchr-Fox catalogues but didn’t see any dates. Will check again.

[Mr]

I think we're missing a good handful still - do you have any shelved?

[Upgrade]

SF 2001 is definitely full of reissues with the label outright saying so.

I’m not sure if this series came a lot later or before SF 1027, but it’s omitted the copyright dates again even though it is Synchro Fox already.

A couple are fairly easy to track from the Synchro Recorded Music library 78s. Others have yet to pop up at least by the names on the label.

In the catalogue I have it looks they were released alongside each other. I think one has SF 2001 but not SF 2002 and it isn’t yet up to 1029. I’ll dig it out.

Did you manage to find the catalog? Unfortunately, searching for Sam Fox music is a bit difficult since it is also the name of another recording artist/model.

[Retronic]

It looks like both 2001 and 2002 were out between 1017 and 1022.  I have two catalogues ; the first goes up to 1017 but the supplement is 1018 - 1022 and also has the 2001/ 2002 issues and as you say states 'Re-issues of the most successful Synchro*Fox music cues previously unavailabe on LP records'.  I can't see any date.

[Upgrade]

How strange. There’s no dates anywhere in the catalog like the cover, title, or copyright page?

I’d imagine the rest of the pages for SF 1001-1015 look pretty much the same unless there’s something more than track listing, timing, and genre notes.

Also I seem to recall an interview/blog post someone posted here regarding one of the musicians who recorded for Sam Fox.

Thank you very much Greta for the lossless 1029.

I've ripped to lossless 1001 > 1030 except for: 1019, 1023, 1029. 
I've ripped 2001.  I don't have 2002.

Many I've ripped twice when I had two copies. 
Unfortunately it's hit and miss in condition with the ones I had, some aren't bad and some have a lot of surface / background noise.

Some of the copies I had came from a tv studio where they would stamp the date they received the record.  Sometimes that gives an indication that the record was made that year or earlier.  For instance 1009 (1965 or before), 1013 (1966 or before), 1014 (1969 or before), etc.

Andrew I would love lossless rips of any of these you'd be happy to share  :

I can do 19 and 23.

[Mr]

Impressive! Can I humbly ask for 1024 and 1025?

[The_Eleventh_Hour]

Andrew, great stuff!

Would love

4/5/9/11

Many thanks in advance!

[Retronic]

Eleventh Hour, I have some or all of them I can do for you.

In addition to all the above, an upgrade of SF 1018, which I have now @192, would be appreciated

[Andrew]

Here's my rips of 1024 > 1028 in FLAC.  I'll try to get some more done later.

There's bound to be quite a bit of surface noise on these.
I usually only do light noise removal to avoid damaging things like attacks on drums and brass.  (and castanets! any attempts at automatic cleaning seem to always wreck those).  I have to give a shout out to the ClickFix plugin for audition, I've been using it for 15 years and in my opinion it always does a way better job than the built in removal. (I'm not affiliated with them)
